On May 8, 2015, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published its final report (EBA/GL/2015/03) on guidelines on triggers for the use of early intervention measures under Article 27(4) of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (2014/59/EU) (BRRD).  The guidelines identify a set of triggers that are closely linked to the outcomes of the common EU supervisory review and evaluation process conducted by national competent authorities, and elaborate on the circumstances prompting the consideration of whether to apply early intervention measures. The guidelines will apply from January 1, 2016.
